ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a navigating bridge for seagoing vessels with a panorama-deckhouse and a central action station with a concentration of all means necessary for observation and operation within the range of the operator in charge. There are port and starboard workplaces with port and starboard chairs, respectively, and a U-like navigating desk embracing the port and starboard workplaces having a front console and adjoining starboard and port side consoles. The port and starboard chairs are mounted for movement on port and starboard rails, respectively, in the first and second workplaces, respectively. There is a middle console located between the first and second rails adjoining the middle part of the front console. The height of the chairs relative to that of the consoles is high enough so that a person seated in either of the chairs has a clear view over all the consoles. The vehicle steering gear may be controlled at the aft portion of the middle console from a third workplace. A central optical bearing device and a gyropilot repeater compass may be arranged in the fore and aft parts, respectively, of the middle console. A radar indicator on the front console is movable between an upper operating position and a low rest position. The front console includes a table-like work surface, including a chart table. The navigating desk and other locations on the navigating bridge include devices for attendance reply. The navigating bridge includes port and starboard wings each having a fore edge that forms an acute angle of more than 45.degree. with the fore-aft axis of the vessel and port and starboard corner windows ahead of the junction between the port and starboard wing leading edges, respectively, with the panorama-deckhouse.
